Your tutor or the Senior Tutor is your first point of contact after the discussion
board. From weeks 3 – 13 your tutor will be available for consultation. You can drop
past or book to see them. The role of the consult time is to answer any questions you
may have in more depth than can be addressed within the structure of the tutorial
which is filled with activities. It is NOT to provide a personal lecture. Your tutor will
advise you of their consult time in week 2 when you meet them. They will also provide
their email details. Please note any emails to your tutor will be answered within 48
hours during the working week (i.e. any emails received outside of business hours will
be answered within 2 working days). Before emailing your tutor check the
discussion board as your question may have already been asked there.
Tutor list please contact your tutor in the first instance. Your tutor will advise you of
their consultation times.

Skills outcomes:
5. acquire foundational academic research skills
6. demonstrate familiarity with the process of critical analysis
7. enhance your effectiveness in working in groups and teams
8. learn independently and assume responsibility for the learning process
The Course Learning Outcomes are what you should be able to DO by the end of this
course, if you participate fully in learning activities and successfully complete the
assessment items.
The Learning Outcomes in this course also help you to achieve some of the overall
Program Learning Goals and Outcomes for all undergraduate students in the Business
School. Program Learning Goals are what we want you to BE or HAVE by the time you
successfully complete your degree (e.g. ‘be an effective team player’). You
demonstrate this by achieving specific Program Learning Outcomes - what you are
able to DO by the end of your degree (e.g. ‘participate collaboratively and responsibly
in teams’).
For more information on the Undergraduate Program Learning Goals and Outcomes,
see Part B of the course outline.
1. Knowledge: Our graduates will have in-depth disciplinary knowledge applicable in local and
global contexts.
You should be able to select and apply disciplinary knowledge to business situations in a local and global
environment.
2. Critical thinking and problem solving: Our graduates will be critical thinkers and effective
problem solvers.
You should be able to identify and research issues in business situations, analyse the issues, and propose
appropriate and well-justified solutions.

The following table shows how your Course Learning Outcomes relate to the overall
Program Learning Goals and Outcomes, and indicates where these are assessed (they
may also be developed in tutorials and other activities):

4 ASSESSMENT

business.unsw.edu.au
Report Focus:
While studying MGMT 1001 you have completed two simulated climbs of Mount Everest. Simulations are
often used as a method for developing management capability and learning ‘soft skills’. You are now
required to write a report considering what you have learned through the use of the simulations in relation
to leadership and strategy. Specifically in business you will need to select and focus on issues that have
occurred and then analyse them.
Your report must:
• show you understand and have selected relevant issues to analyse as a result of
your Everest participation.
• demonstrate development and analysis of skills by using frameworks and theories from MGMT 1001
course.
• reflect upon what you have learnt as a result of your experiences in a supported manner (by utilising
theories and frameworks from MGMT 1001).
• address the concept that “leadership and strategy count in successful execution of tasks”
business.unsw.edu.au
Reference requirements: You must use a minimum of six (6) academic references to
support your analysis and no more than 15 references
Marking criteria:
• overall quality of analysis, depth of reflection / thinking in terms of simulated
learning experiences related to the Everest climbs.
• quality of academic research (appropriate number of academic sources,
relevance of sources to your argument).
• appropriate structure (logical sequence; transitions between parts; well-
developed paragraphs).
• clarity of expression & grammar.
• correct format of in-text citations and reference list using Harvard referencing.
• correct document formatting as per requirements in section 4.3 of the Course
Outline, length (2,500 words +/- 10%), and inclusion of compulsory
appendices.
More information about the Everest Simulation can be found on the course website.
You must undertake your first climb virtually via computer mediated discussion. The
second climb is to be taken with all members in the same room working on their
computers.
Note that the Everest simulation is to be completed twice. The simulation will be
available to students at the following times only:
Everest simulation 1: 27th March (9am) – 31st March (5pm)
Everest simulation 2: 24th April (9am) – 28th April (5pm)
** You must complete both Everest climbs to be eligible to pass MGMT 1001.

Everest Video Presentation due Friday Week 11, May 19th (12 noon) total 12 marks
Task: Your team must create a short video demonstrating the learning outcomes from
the two Everest climbs in relation to decision making in team work. Creativity is to be
encouraged. You must demonstrate you have applied the concepts of decision making
within teamwork to your video. The videos are to be loaded to Moodle on campus
(please note the upload speed of the university internet will be needed)
Marks will be awarded based upon providing peer review the overall quality
(academically) of the video, as well as your involvement in creation of the video.
There are two parts to this peer review:
Peer Review of your team. You must review your team’s participation to ensure
everyone is involved and participates in the production and delivery of the video
Peer review of tutorial videos. You will be required to view all videos for your tutorial
group. This is due no later than Friday Week 12, 26th May (noon)
This component requires that students watch the videos and peer review each based
on the criteria posted on Moodle. You must provide at least one comment per video to
justify the grade you give to each video you review.
business.unsw.edu.au
A final two-hour exam will be held during the University exam period at the end of the
semester. All material from the course is examinable (including lecture content, tutorial
experiences, and the textbook). Students are expected to sit the exam on the
prescribed day and should not make plans to travel, attend work functions or make any
other plans on this day.
In order to pass this course, you must:
• achieve a composite mark of at least 50; and
• make a satisfactory attempt at all assessment tasks (see below).
business.unsw.edu.au
The Everest climbs must be completed with your teams as outlined in weeks 5 and 8.
The videos will be submitted via ‘the box’ on Moodle by Friday 19th May at NOON
Peer reviews will also occur via Moodle. You are advised to UPLOAD THIS ON
CAMPUS, as often home upload speeds are not sufficient for this style of video.
Please allow time for this to upload, as no extensions are possible. Review of Videos
and teams must be completed by Friday 26th May at NOON via moodle.
Students are reminded to keep a copy of all work submitted for assessment and to
keep their returned marked assignments.

Quality Assurance
The Business School is actively monitoring student learning and quality of the student
experience in all its programs. A random selection of completed assessment tasks may
be used for quality assurance, such as to determine the extent to which program
learning goals are being achieved. The information is required for accreditation
purposes, and aggregated findings will be used to inform changes aimed at improving
the quality of Business School programs. All material used for such processes will be
treated as confidential.
